Cincinnati Bengals

Call me crazy, but there’s a very good chance the Ravens will surprise some folks this season.

When we last left the dudes in purple, they were giving up a fourth-down pass play to Andy Dalton and the Bengals that wound up costing them a chance to make the playoffs. As the Ravens have shown in years past, anything can happen once you’re in the playoffs.

Getting there, lately, has been something of a chore.

Which brings me to this season. Come 1 p.m on Sunday, the season that left a bad taste in many mouths around the area can officially become a thing of the past.
